My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 66
Hong Ping looked complicated: "Liu Gongzi means darts? But this is the business of the escort bureau. Besides, what kind of escort bureau can use [-] good horses to escort darts?"

"It's not a dart, or it's used to pull goods, people and animals."

"Young master, it is absolutely impossible. Pulling goods is something that old horses do. Our Liujia horse farm is a thousand good horses. I don't know how much effort was spent to develop them and how can they be used to pull carts for delivery. What about the goods?"

"I ask you, what do ordinary people do when they go out? What do they do when they go to distant places?"

Ma Biao hesitated for a moment and said, "Most of the people who are close by are walking, and those who are far away are also walking."

Aren't you fucking bullshit?

Hong Ping also agreed: "Brother Ma is right. Ordinary people travel on two legs when they go out. They can't afford horses to ride livestock, and cattle are even more reluctant, which are more expensive than people."

"I ask you, how long does it take to walk from the south of the city to the north of the city?"

"Half an hour or a half hour."

"What about the carriage? How long will it take?"

"About two quarters of an hour."

"What about the rapid rush of the carriage?"

"You can walk from the south of the city to the north of the city in less than a quarter of an hour."

"Uncle Ma, it will take me a day and two nights to get to Yangzhou by horse-drawn carriage from Jinling. How about on foot? How long does it take?"

Ma Biao muttered for a while: "Master, it will take about seven days."

"If a traveling merchant is carrying goods?"

"It takes ten days and a half months to arrive, and it has to be a young and strong guy."

Liu Mingzhi clapped his hands: "Isn't this enough? Isn't business coming? And it's big business."

"Master, the old horse is confused and still doesn't know."

"Young Master Liu, what does the business you just asked have to do with business?"

Liu Mingzhi sighed, limitations, this is the limitation: "If you are a foot merchant, doing business from Yangzhou to Suzhou, you can only get five taels of silver after walking for ten days and a half. It takes a whole lot of hard work. There is a chance that you can make five taels of silver in just three days from Yangzhou to Suzhou, but you have to spend one tael to take a car, so you can only earn four taels of silver, but in ten days you can earn five taels of silver. But you can run three or four times, and this time you earn a dozen taels, which one do you choose?"

"Of course I chose to earn a dozen taels of silver, and no one is a fool."

"Then how can you make three or four trips from Yangzhou to Suzhou in ten days?"

Hong Ping thought for a while with a surprised look on his face: "In a carriage, you can't run three or four times if you are exhausted from walking. You can only ride a horse or ride a carriage."

"The current carriage is full of people, how many people can fit in one carriage?"

"It's no problem to sit seven or eight people now."

"Then make the carriage larger, longer and wider, and seat as many people as possible. If one horse doesn't move, then two horses pull it. It takes half an hour to walk from the south of the city to the north of the city, and it costs five cents and a quarter of an hour. It's here, can the common people not be able to buy a horse or ride a five-cent car?"

"From the south of the city to the north of the city, a car pulls ten people, and half a quarter of an hour is fifty cents?"

"The bearer takes longer to go. If the goods are small, add a penny, and if the goods are large, add three cents. This is silver again."

"Master, how much money did you get this day?"

"It depends on the flow of people. For example, a rich kid wants to eat a fruit, but Jinling doesn't have it in Yangzhou. If he wants to go to Jinling to buy it, he will spend a lot of money. The rich lady wants to use Suzhou's rouge. Gouache, you have to spend money to buy a trip. Hey, the business is here again. They buy a trip for [-] taels. We only charge [-] taels, and we deliver it to the door for free. The driver from Yangzhou to Jinling takes a few more steps. You can buy fruit from Suzhou and rouge from Jinling, but we can also bring what Jinling wants, which is called purchasing on behalf of others.”

Hong Ping's eyes were already in the shape of copper coins, and he was obviously attracted by Liu Mingzhi's blueprint: "Master Liu, what do you mean we will use these more than 1000 good horses for transportation?"

"That's right, short-distance buses, medium-distance buses, and ultra-long-distance freight. You can't do it if you don't want to. 30 horses, [-] horses at a time, take turns to rest, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Jinling, Shaozhou, Yongzhou. There are more than [-] states in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as you give money, you can go as far as you want. You don’t have to worry about the damage of the horse’s hoof. You only need to spend some money to prepare good fodder for the horses. Isn’t it all a waste of money?”

Ma Biao was still a little hesitant: "Master, if you use a good horse-drawn cart to deliver the goods, the old horse still thinks"

"Uncle Ma, I don't want these good horse-drawn carts from Bingzhou that have spent countless efforts to deliver goods. Isn't it impossible? You can't sell them. They eat and drink at the horse farm every day and then let the horse master stock up on it. No Is there still no way? Making the best use of everything is the right way.”

"Brother Ma, just now Hong has done a rough calculation, just like Mr. Liu said just now, the profit for this year is about 50 silver, which is a big income."

Ma Biao was also shocked and said, "50? If the young master takes 30%, isn't that more than [-] silver a year?"

"Young Master Liu, you have horses and the Hong family has a carriage and driver. Is it a bit of a split?" Hong Ping was horrified by the profit that Liu Mingzhi said, so he was naturally a little unwilling to split the three or seven.

"It's easy for my Liu family to want wood to build a car, it just takes a little time. Your Hong family wants horses, only my Liu family has them. I hold the mentality of not bothering the two masters, and the Hong family master is content and happy."

Only then did Hong Ping react, and he secretly scolded his own interests for being obsessed with himself.

"Master Liu, Hong is disrespectful and will leave first. Hong will immediately go to prepare wood and build a large number of carriages."

"Patriarch Hong, walk slowly and don't send it off."

After Ma Biao sent Hong Ping and his son away, he looked at Liu Mingzhi unwillingly: "Young master, my Liu family can handle this transportation business by myself. As the young master said, it is just a trivial matter for my Liu family to buy some wood. Why give 10,000% of the profit to the Hong family? [-]+ taels of silver, young master, right?"

Liu Mingzhi raised his brows: "Too sloppy?"

Although Ma Biao didn't speak, his expression clearly meant that.

"Uncle Ma, if the old man handles this matter, what will he do?"

"Even if the Hong family will not be destroyed, they will still be injured. They will definitely not cooperate with my Liu family, and the annual profit will be 10,000+ taels of silver."

Liu Mingzhi's tone was cold: "Jiangnan Liu, Xibei Yun, the old man is too ruthless, and it is impossible to try to dominate the family. Jiangnan Liushu attracts a lot of wind, and the businessman has a low status. Sooner or later, an accident will happen. The Liu family needs allies, allies from all over the world, You can't make enough money, so you should give the old man some wickedness."

Ma Biao subconsciously looked at the back hall of the front hall, his brows lowered and he stopped talking.
